My dear and long-time friend, Bishop Tony Palmer, departed this earth and went home to be with Jesus, our LORD and Savior.
While he was on earth, his and Emi’s ministry and anointing became a bridge between Catholics and Protestants in the Body of Christ. Tony had a major impact on the worldwide Catholic Renewal. In that role, while ministering and teaching The WORD of faith in Argentina, he met and became very close friends with Cardinal Bergoglio. Their friendship grew stronger and stronger, until they were more than friends. They became spiritual father and son in The LORD. Cardinal Bergoglio went on to become Pope Francis.
In January of this year, Tony brought a personal video greeting from Pope Francis to all of us during our annual Ministers’ Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. There, Tony was being THE BRIDGE. It was a marvelous and very anointed moment in all our lives.
Tony then returned to Rome with a video (both videos on his cell phone) from us to the pope. Pope Francis responded with a personal invitation to me and seven others: James and Betty Robison, Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe, Dr. Brian Stiller, Thomas Schirrmacher and John and Carol Arnott. We all, hosted by Tony, had one of the most anointed and wonderful experiences of our lives. THE BRIDGE WAS BUILT, and we stood on it together in the glorious presence of a very pleased LORD and Savior. His powerful and heaven-commanded prayer in John 17:21 is finally coming to pass according to Ephesians 4:13.
John 17:21: That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Ephesians 4:13: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
The unity of the faith—not doctrines. Our doctrines differ. Our faith is in Jesus of Nazareth, Son of the living God!
We know the devil is responsible for the attack on Tony’s life! He tried to stop this worldwide move of coming together in Jesus as one. Too late, devil!
THE BRIDGE IS ALREADY BUILT! IT’S A LOVE BRIDGE—A BRIDGE THAT WILL NEVER FAIL. And, Gloria and I, and all in this ministry, are thrilled to stand strong on THE BRIDGE that grace built—through Tony Palmer. We love and miss you, DEAR BOY.
Jesus Is LORD!

And then there are the comments;

My heart seemed to stand still when I saw the posting and my mind just didn’t want to come to the last word of the post, I just felt locked into the letters.. Lord we lift Tony’s family, friends, ministry and dreams up to you and Declare Victory to all! and to You be the Glory!.. I do not yet know exactly how Heaven works but I do know that the Cloud of Witnesses has some unwavering voices cheering for us as we finish our race….. Standing in Unity. Amen

William Timothy LesterI knew when Brother Copeland was released of the Lord he would speak – and I am comforted and established even more in The Faith. As a Catholic I believe our Holy Ghost filled Papa Francis will now do even MORE for unity. All the Catholic News out lets were mourning the Pope’s ‘close friend’– who happens to also be Brother Copeland’s son also in the gospel. -
Quintin Moore · Lead Pastor at The Father’s HouseMay God honor what Bp Tony has done, by our continuing the work of unity! Thank you Ken & Gloria for your love for Tony! Each of his fellow brother Bishops truly appreciate your love for Tony!

As you rightly said sir, that bridge is already built and is standing firm. Let our Lord Jesus be glorified forever . Amen, may he rest in The Lord till we meet to part no more.

oh that is the biggest load of satanic diatribe I have read in a long time. How the flock of these apostate leaders are truly being lead right into the den of satan. Growing up in what I did, was also done via the catholic church . I had to go to mass weekly,make my communion, do their confession , pray over rosary beads, give worship to Mary, call upon the saints, and not once was I taught any biblical truth.Not to mention what I know about the priests and nuns involvement behind closed doors, of all things satan. That is why I speak against the catholic church . That is why I don’t count what they teach as being of God. It’s satans biggest church to fool the masses into worshipping him in reality,whilst they believe they are worshipping the Lord. The flock of these should go read the two babylons to see the truth about that church. God never has, and never will ask any church or pastor to join hands with Rome and build bridges. The pope is not Gods right hand man. He is satans. And he and those in the illuminati know that full well. Hence why he is dressed in white, and they are dressed in dark colours. Kenneth Copeland is nothing more than a 33 degree mason. And the jesus he serves is the unholy one, not the Holy one. Because the real Lord would never ask these pastors to be accepting the false prophet into their churches and lives. And to think he is saying the devil tried to stop this move of coming together. Ha, the devil is the one orchestrating it, but kenneth,Tony Palmer, the pope already knew that. So does God. Sad that it will probably take until Judgement day for most of their followers to find out the truth. Then it will be too late.
